Storage Unit Cleanout Services

A storage unit cleanout empties a rented unit down to bare walls so you can stop paying for it, and the whole load is quoted flat and in writing before anything moves. It is $50 per cubic yard of the space your load takes up, with $150 as the minimum charge, quoted flat before the first item moves. Labor, carry-out to the loading bay and disposal fees are included in that figure. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal handles the job from start to finish.

Have the gate code and unit number ready and the lock off, and the crew can work without you standing there. Anything you want kept is pulled aside before loading rather than sorted afterward. If the facility has already auctioned or padlocked the unit, that has to be settled with management first. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal handles it end to end.

Our Main Service Areas

Storage Unit Cleanouts in St. Petersburg, FL

Most storage units start as a temporary solution and quietly become a monthly bill for things nobody has looked at in years. At $120 to $250 a month, a unit held for five years costs more than most of what is inside it. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal clears the unit completely – we empty it, sweep it and haul everything away so you can hand back the key and stop the auto-payment.

We serve storage facilities throughout St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park and the rest of Pinellas County. Call 727-240-7033.

What comes out of a typical unit

Furniture – sofas, tables, dressers, headboards
Mattresses and box springs that have been stored upright for years
Boxes of paperwork, books and photographs

Tools, shelving and workshop equipment
Exercise equipment – see exercise equipment removal
Business inventory, files and fixtures

How Storage Unit Cleanouts Work

1. Tell us the unit size

Storage units are standardized, which makes them one of the few jobs we can quote accurately over the phone. A 5×10 packed floor to ceiling, a 10×10, a 10×20 – tell us the size and roughly how full it is and we can give you a real number before we arrive.

2. Facility access

Most facilities need a gate code, a listed authorized person, or a staff escort, and many restrict hours. Tell us the facility and we will work within their rules. If you cannot be there, add us as an authorized contact and we can clear it without you present, then send photos of the empty unit.

3. Sort as we go

Flag anything you want kept and we will set it aside in your vehicle or in a corner. Usable furniture and household goods go to donation, metal to scrap recycling, electronics to certified e-waste.

4. Swept and photographed

We sweep the unit out so it passes the facility’s move-out inspection, and send photos you can forward to the office to stop billing. That last part matters – facilities keep charging until the unit is signed off as empty.

Documents and personal papers

Storage units are full of old tax records, bank statements, medical files and legal paperwork. Tell us and we will separate documents rather than tipping them in with general waste. If you want them destroyed, pull them and use a shredding service – that is one thing worth doing properly rather than cheaply.

Cost, Auctions and Facility Deadlines

What it costs

Priced by volume. A half-full 5×10 is often a quarter load; a packed 10×20 can be a full truckload or more. The price includes labor, loading, hauling, disposal fees and sweeping the unit.

Worth doing the arithmetic before you renew: another six months on a $160 unit is $960. A single cleanout is usually a fraction of that, and it ends the bill permanently.

Auction buyers and facility managers

If you buy units at auction, you know the problem – the good items come home and the rest has to be cleared within 24 to 72 hours or you lose your deposit. We schedule fast, work within facility hours, and can meet you on site the same day. Facility managers use us for abandoned and defaulted units after the lien process completes, with photo documentation for the file.

Bulk and multi-unit work

Clearing several units, an entire row after a facility change of ownership, or a business closure? We price those per unit and can bring a roll-off dumpster to the property when the facility allows it, which is usually the cheapest structure at volume. See also commercial junk removal.

Why us

Locally owned, fully insured – which most facilities require before letting a contractor work on site – uniformed, background-checked crews and a firm price before we start. Call 727-240-7033 or book online.

Storage Unit Cleanout Services Across St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa and Pinellas County

The three cities we cover hardest for storage unit cleanout services are St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa. Between them sits the rest of Pinellas County, and we work those beach towns and inland suburbs constantly.

St. Petersburg, FL

St. Petersburg gets our fastest response on storage unit cleanout services simply because we are already here. We cover downtown, the Grand Central District, Historic Roser Park, Bartlett Park, Euclid St. Paul, Meadowlawn and the Gateway corridor. City bulk curbside pickup is free if you can wait for it, and we will tell you when that is the smarter option. See the full St. Petersburg service page.

Clearwater, FL

Clearwater is our second-heaviest market. storage unit cleanout services runs from Countryside and Morningside out to Island Estates, Sand Key and Clearwater Beach. Beach and island buildings almost always mean elevator reservations, certificates of insurance and loading dock windows — we carry the paperwork and book the elevator before the crew rolls. Details on our Clearwater coverage.

Tampa, FL

We serve Tampa across the bay every week. storage unit cleanout services runs through South Tampa, Davis Islands, Beach Park, Virginia Park, Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights, Riverside Heights, Westchase and New Tampa. Tampa sits in Hillsborough County, which runs its own disposal system, so Tampa loads tip at Hillsborough facilities rather than the Pinellas plant — we quote that in up front so the price does not move later. More on our Tampa junk removal coverage.

The Rest of Pinellas County

The rest of the county is standard route work, not a special trip. Mid-county we cover Largo, Pinellas Park and Seminole. North county is Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. The barrier islands are St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Clearwater Beach and Tierra Verde. We also serve Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Belleair, Belleair Beach, Belleair Bluffs, Belleair Shore, plus Westchase and Gandy across the bay. See the Pinellas County overview for the whole map.

Not sure whether your address is inside the line? Call 727-240-7033 and ask. We would rather tell you honestly that a job is outside our range than take a deposit and cancel on you.

Storage Unit Cleanout Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a storage unit cleanout cost?

Pricing is by volume. A half-full 5×10 is often a quarter truckload, while a packed 10×20 can be a full load or more. Because unit sizes are standardized we can usually give you an accurate price over the phone. The quote includes labor, loading, hauling, disposal fees and sweeping the unit out.

Do I need to be there when you clear the unit?

No. Most facilities let you add us as an authorized contact, or you can provide the gate code and unit access. We will clear it, sweep it and send photos of the empty unit that you can forward to the office to stop billing.

Can you clear a unit the same day?

Usually yes, subject to the facility’s access hours. Auction buyers on a 24 to 72 hour deadline are a regular part of our work, and we schedule around those deadlines.

Will you sweep the unit so I pass move-out inspection?

Yes. We sweep the unit out and photograph it. Facilities generally keep billing until the unit is signed off as empty, so the sweep and the photos matter as much as the hauling.

What happens to the contents?

Usable furniture, tools and household goods are donated to local charities. Metal goes to scrap recycling, electronics go to certified e-waste processing and cardboard is recycled. Only what cannot be reused is landfilled.

What about old tax records and personal documents?

Tell us and we will separate documents rather than tipping them in with general waste. If you want them destroyed rather than disposed of, pull them out and use a shredding service. That is worth doing properly.

Do you work with storage facility managers on abandoned units?

Yes. Once the lien process is complete we clear defaulted and abandoned units, work within facility hours and provide photo documentation for the file. We are fully insured, which most facilities require before allowing a contractor on site.

Can you clear several units at once?

Yes, and it is much cheaper per unit than booking them individually. For a full row or a facility-wide clear we can bring a roll-off dumpster to the property where the facility permits it.

Is it worth clearing my unit instead of keeping paying?

Usually. Six more months on a $160 unit is $960, and a single cleanout is typically a fraction of that and ends the bill permanently. We are happy to give you a price so you can compare the two numbers.

Do you offer storage unit cleanout services in Tampa, FL?

Yes. Tampa is a regular part of our route, not a special trip. We cross the Howard Frankland, Gandy and Courtney Campbell bridges for storage unit cleanout services in South Tampa, Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Seminole Heights, Ybor City, Westchase, Carrollwood, Temple Terrace and New Tampa. Tampa is in Hillsborough County, so loads tip at Hillsborough facilities instead of the Pinellas plant. That difference is already in the number we quote you — there is no bridge surcharge bolted on at the end.

How fast can you get to Clearwater for storage unit cleanout services?

Clearwater is our second-busiest market, so same-day or next-day is normal. Jobs in Countryside, Skycrest, Morningside and the US-19 corridor are straightforward. Anything on Clearwater Beach, Sand Key or Island Estates we schedule early in the morning, because the Memorial Causeway and beach parking will wreck an afternoon window. If the building needs a certificate of insurance or a reserved service elevator, tell us when you book and we handle it.

Which cities do you serve besides St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa?

All of Pinellas County. Inland that is Largo, Pinellas Park, Seminole, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. On the water it is St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Clearwater Beach and Tierra Verde. We also cover Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Belleair, Belleair Beach, Belleair Bluffs and Belleair Shore, plus Westchase and the Gandy corridor on the Hillsborough side.
